Hello, Commanders—welcome to Update 6.8.0🎄

** New Year season & holiday content**

• Holiday content in a Viking theme: new fittings and loot boxes (released in stages). • A special highlight of the season is the uniquely styled Jötunfang tank in three variants: Mk1 / Mk2 / Mk3 (released in stages). • The New Year hangar is back—and optimized compared to last year. • We’ve prepared festive decorations for battle maps; they’ll activate closer to the start of the events to set the right holiday mood.

Effects & visuals

• Significant visual work: the updated effects system now uses triggers, making the image richer and more dynamic. • New mud-spray effects from under the tracks, depending on surface type. • Updated impact effects across different surface types. • Improved golden shell muzzle effect, plus a refined destruction effect when using golden shells. • During events, the look of gunfire may change. • When graphics are set above Medium, enhanced post-processing turns on automatically (soft bloom and global color correction). • Dynamic lighting has been improved.

Vehicle updates

We refreshed the appearance of several vehicles to better match modern standards:

• DeadMoroz Mk3 ;

• Rudolph Mk2 ;

• Krampus Mk1 ;

• M1A2 Abrams ;

• Leclerc ;

• Type 99A2 ;

Battle Pass

• Battle Pass rewards are now clearer and easier to claim. If you unlock new BP stages (with rewards) during a battle, they’re grouped into a separate block after the match and offered for collection.

Economy & UI

• A long-standing request: selling vehicles from your hangar has returned; • Event-specific currencies now appear only where they’re actually used and are automatically hidden after the event ends; • Rank-up currency is also temporarily hidden—the rank system is slated for a rework;

Combat readability

• Tank outlines have been updated and made thicker. Vehicle silhouettes are now easier to read, especially in fast-paced battles.

New vehicle

• This update adds the modern heavy tank Panzer 51.

Technical improvements

• Improved stability when connections drop. • Graphics and performance settings optimized, including festive decorations on battle maps. • On some devices with certain processors, Low graphics will be enabled by default to ensure stable performance and smooth controls. • The game has been migrated to a new engine version; issues after the migration have been fixed. • Numerous other small but important fixes.

Thank you for staying with us this year. May the update bring not only fresh impressions but also that calm, pre-holiday spirit. See you in battle! ❄️
